Huge thanks to @n1313, @okonet and @kof for help with this release!

Highlights

1. create-react-app support out of the box.
2. New webpack configuration options + user config auto load.

Breaking changes

create-react-app support

Now Styleguidst works with create-react-app even without config.

It will load components from src/components/**/*.js. And example files from Component/Readme.md or Component/Component.md.

User webpack config auto load

By default Styleguidist will try to find webpack.config.js in your project’s root directory and use it.

If your webpack config is located somewhere else, you need to load it manually:

module.exports = {
  webpackConfig: require('./configs/webpack.js')
};

Note: entry, externals, output, watch, stats and devtool options will be ignored.

Note: CommonsChunkPlugins, HtmlWebpackPlugin, UglifyJsPlugin, HotModuleReplacementPlugin plugins will be ignored because Styleguidist already includes them or they may break Styleguidist.

Note: Babelified webpack configs (like webpack.config.babel.js) are not supported. We recommend to convert your config to native Node — Node 6 supports many ES6 features.

Easier webpack configuration

With the new webpackConfig:

module.exports = {
  webpackConfig: {
    module: {
      loaders: [
        // Babel loader, will use your project’s .babelrc
        {
          test: /\.jsx?$/,
          exclude: /node_modules/,
          loader: 'babel-loader',
        },
        // Other loaders that is needed for your components
        {
          test: /\.css$/,
          loader: 'style-loader!css-loader?modules',
        },
      ],
    },
  },
};

See the new webpack configuration guide for more examples.

Also:

• include/exclude options in you webpack loaders are no longer required.
• JSON loader will be added automatically if needed.

No global Lodash in examples

Lodash will not be available in examples as _. You can load function you need with the new context option:

module.exports = {
  context: {
    forEach: 'lodash/forEach',
    map: 'lodash/map',
  },
};

Or replicate previous behavior though it’s not recommended:

module.exports = {
  context: {
    _: 'lodash',
  },
};

Use JSS for styling instead of CSS Modules

Use config option theme to change fonts, colors, etc. and option styles to tweak style of particular Styleguidist’s components:

module.exports = {
	theme: {
		link: 'firebrick',
		linkHover: 'salmon',
		font: '"Comic Sans MS", "Comic Sans", cursive',
	},
	styles: {
		Logo: {
			logo: {
				animation: 'blink ease-in-out 300ms infinite',
			},
			'@keyframes blink': {
				to: { opacity: 0 },
			},
		},
	},
};

We now use JSS under the hoood.

New default config options

• components: src/components/**/*.js
• getExampleFilename: Component/Readme.md or Component/Component.md
• title: <app name from package.json> Style Guide

New default dev-server port

Default port is now 6060 because create-react-app uses 3000 too.

Use findAllExportedComponentDefinitions as a default resolver

Fixes #260.

Drop npm2 support
